Say Goodbye to Traditional Business Cards and Hello to DOUP

Say Goodbye to Traditional Business Cards and Hello to DOUP
Feb 26 2023 Share

Attention all businesspeople, entrepreneurs, and creatives, there is a new game-changing product hitting the Maltese market that will help you up your networking game! Say goodbye to traditional paper-based business cards, and hello to the innovative DOUP NFC business card.

So, what exactly is DOUP? It’s a smart business card powered by Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. If all that sounds like gobbledygook, don’t worry, we’ll break that down for you. Essentially, it works like contactless phone payments. You bring the DOUP card close to a smartphone, and voila, your contact information is displayed right on the recipient’s phone that instant. Cool, right?

But wait, there’s more. DOUP NFC business cards are available in various product types. This innovative company isn’t just about providing standard plastic cards, oh no. They’ve got eco-friendly bamboo or metal cards that scream ‘I care about the planet’, fun stickers that’ll make you stand out from the crowd, and even super cool wristbands for those on-the-go networking moments. With DOUP, there’s a card for everyone, and every occasion!

With DOUP, you’re not just giving out your phone number and email, you’re giving your potential clients and collaborators an entire portfolio at their fingertips. Links to gorgeous photo galleries, slick ads that’ll leave them wanting more, and even syncing your calendar reservations with ease. The sky’s the limit with DOUP. Plus, it gets even better. When you purchase a card, you’ll get access to their user-friendly platform that lets you update and personalise your profile with ease. Talk about a business card that’s got your back.

Now, let’s talk about how it works. The idea is to “tap” another device and instantly share contact information. With NFC, you can quickly connect to another device or retrieve small amounts of ready-to-download information, up to 1MB. NFC has similar features to Bluetooth but is a much more flexible alternative. When the card is touched to the mobile phone, the information encoded on the card is received and instantly displayed on the phone.

And if you’re curious about whether there are any more benefits to using a DOUP NFC business card, the answer is a resounding yes! Using DOUP is a sure-fire way to show off your innovative edge and stand out from the crowd. And while you’re wowing them with your modern style, you can feel good knowing that you’re being kind to the planet too. These cards are way more eco-friendly than their traditional paper counterparts.

DOUP not only provides a seamless way to share your contact details but also enables the integration of payment services like PayPal and Revolut. This means that customers can easily pay for your services on the spot, without the hassle of exchanging bank details. And that’s not all, the DOUP platform also provides in-depth analytics and statistics, allowing you to track how many times your card has been shared and which links have been opened the most. This information can be invaluable for tracking the effectiveness of your marketing efforts and making data-driven business decisions, empowering you with valuable insights to grow your business.

But wait, there’s more! Not only will you be saving trees, you’ll be saving money too. No more pricey printing costs or worrying about running out of cards at the worst possible moment. And when you do connect with a potential business partner or client, you’ll be able to share your contact info quickly and easily without the risk of typos or lost contacts. It’s a win-win situation all around.

Ready to take your networking game to the next level? Then head to www.mydoup.com now. Discover how you can get your hands on your own personalised NFC business card and take the first step towards revolutionising your networking experience.

Cloudy week ahead for Malta as yellow wind warning issued

Cloudy week ahead for Malta as yellow wind warning issued
Feb 25 2023 Share

It seems as though the brief sunny and warm weather all over the Maltese islands will be short lived as some very cloudy skies are being forecasted for the end of this week, getting even worse as next week progresses. 

According to the Malta International Airport Weather Forecast, the weekend is set to be mainly cloudy, pushing into mid-next week with the same weather.

However, it will be Thursday the 2nd of March which will bring the isolated rain showers as temperatures drop to around 16 degrees Celsius.

But that may not be the thing we should be concerned most about as the meteorological offices have issue a yellow warning for today due to strong winds set to hit from the south and southeast. 

Temperatures are set to feel between 17 and 19 degrees Celsius, with the highest temperature actually being 19 degrees Celsius.

According to Facebook page ‘It-Temp Madwarna’, the weather for today is also set to be quite cloudy and hazy, with a 40% chance of rainfall. The force of the surrounding seas is expected to be moderate but may become strong due to the wind.

Prime Minister distances himself from Vitals-Steward deal

Prime Minister distances himself from Vitals-Steward deal
Feb 25 2023 Share

Prime Minister Robert Abela has denied his involvement in the privatisation deal with Vitals Global Healthcare and Steward Healthcare with the government. 

When questioned by journalists, Abela said outright that he had no involvement in the deal, which was struck back in 2015.

The government had granted a concession to Vitals Global Healthcare so it could run St Luke’s Hospital, Karin Grech Hospital and the Gozo General Hospital. 

The concession had been negotiated by the then health minister Konrad Mizzi. The deal with the VGH consortium caused many to question the deal, with Vitals selling the concession to Steward Healthcare together with €55 million in debts accused by VGH to the price of €1. 

Abela himself was the legal advisor to Joseph Muscat, the prime minister at the time of the transfer. Abela also stated that he and a number of ministers met to analyse the decision and stated that they plan on filing a court application so the time period for appeal is reduced. 

“If that request is met by the courts, we will also be requesting that appeal is heard with urgency,” Abela said. He also assured people that services at the hospitals would not be affected by the decision.
